English term or phrase: You can clean the guest room now
You can clean the guest room now.
Louie
Spanish translation:Ya puede(s) limpiar el cuarto de (los) invitados
Explanation:
I have written "ya" although it tends to mean "already" because I assume that the person who will clean the room had been told to wait, and now they are allowed to clean it. This is what I would say.
You can say "cuarto de invitados" o "cuarto de los invitados".
"Puede" is the formal way of addressing the person; whereas "puedes" is the informal way.

Ya puede limpiar el cuarto de huéspedes


Explanation:
Dear Louie:
I suppose you are talking to a maid or room service, authorising her to clean the room. This would be the way I would translate it.
Hope it helps.
Bye
